    What about techniques like sleep deprivation?

    I'm ok with it so long as it won't lead to permanent harm.
    So being a good Christian, you condone "techniques" that result in severe pain as long as there is no PERMANENT harm.

        Well Ben is a member of a religion that has several hundreds of years of experience in delivering torture, so he is actually an expert witness.
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            You took off and barely said goodbye. You're certainly not perfect.

                    I really like the new public poll option that allows you to see who voted for what.
                    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                      Correlation not causation. It's probably more likely the result of the fact that most evangelicals will believe whatever the neocon line is, rather than a deep study of the Bible.

                          It should be somewhat divided up, I agree.

                          An option for "I support waterboarding", "sleep deprivation", "stress positions", etc. Actually an interesting poll would be for the entire board asking how far is torture, using the above listed breakdown.

                                I was going to say that less devout peeples were likely to be more liberal.

                                Also that when Xians think about torture, they subconsciously think about who is being tortured these days (muslims), and they have fewer qualms with that idea.
